Current implementation of spin_event_timeout can be interrupted by an
IRQ or context switch after testing the condition, but before checking
the timeout. This can cause the loop to report a timeout when the
condition actually became true in the middle.
This patch adds one final check of the condition upon exit of the loop
if the last test of the condition was still false.

The macro spin_event_timeout() takes a condition and timeout value
(in microseconds) as parameters. It spins until either the condition is true
or the timeout expires. It returns the result of the condition when the loop
was terminated.
This primary purpose of this macro is to poll on a hardware register until a
status bit changes. The timeout ensures that the loop still terminates if the
bit doesn't change as expected. This macro makes it easier for driver
developers to perform this kind of operation properly.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
